 Excellent resource for Mississippi/Louisiana gardeners! April 19, 2004
I have really enjoyed this little book. I find myself reading it over and over and it is now has all the signs of a well used resource: it is dog-eared here and there and there are notes and underlinings throughout. If you appreciate birds, butterflies, and other wildlife, and are interested in attracting them, this is an excellent resource. The book very accurately describes various familiar southern habitats (such as "live oak riverfront forest" or "slash pine savannah") and then steers the reader to plants that will both thrive in their region and also be beneficial to wildlife. It also includes a long chapter on trees, shrubs, and vines that goes into more detail about recommended plants. There is much, much more information packed in here and, if you love gardening and live in the deep south, this is a "must have" book.
